Op-Ed....Who believes all emails are private?

  Are there actually people out there who still believe that their email address is private, that no one could EVER have it, and that everyone they send emails to will respect their privacy? DUH!!

   Believe it or not, we found one.  "Where did you get that email address? OMG!! Better call the cops and change my email because the next one I get  will be MORE PRIVATE, right?

   WRONG!!  Once you send an email to someone from your email address, it could be forwarded a hundred times. You would never know.

  In this day and age of Facebook, U-tube, etc. there are few secrets.    And at our website, we get forwarded emails all the time. "You might be interested in this" or "did you know that?".

  For anyone to "freak" out about someone having your email address is "wierd" we believe,  and perhaps such a person should stick to "snail" mail. No one ever could know that address, RIGHT?

   Or perhaps the telephone. Those are top secret, aren't they? Or you could have them come to your home address. No one could EVER know that! Of course not!!

   Well, we never fail to be shocked by some people's behavoir. We've vented, so now let's move on.

Well, let's see now. This morning I got one of my husbands work e-mails. I forwarded it to the other e-mail and then replied that there was another e-mail that would reach him faster and gave it to them. BFD!!
That is totally "wierd". Who was it?
